The Grateful Thread

[BeanoNYC]

Dream Theater will make all of the aforementioned bands want to quit.

Dude...Dream Theater is a Metal band. This is a jam band thread. Apples to Oranges...

 

[ed-drum]

Dream Theater is not metal. They are classified as progressive rock. Some of the other posts were of bands that are not jam bands either. I am in the audience on a lot of records of "jam" bands, such as "The Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore" etc.. I believe I know the difference, dude. Ed.

 

[ed-drum]

Oh, by the way, Greg Allman was a rat,who snitched on his coked up "friends" way back when. Ed.

 

[ed-drum]

Sorry, but Dream Theater "jams" too. Ever see them ? Ed.

Actually they're progressive metal. Not the scene we're talking about. I don't see why a metal band would wanna make a band like the Allmans or Moe or Phish quit. If you knew the difference you wouldn't have posted flame bait like that unless you were trolling.

Case closed...

Perhaps if you had came into this thread with a bit more tact you could have opened up some decent conversation about this band.

Dream Theater will make all of the aforementioned bands want to quit. They went to Berklee College of Music in Boston and quit. The teachers up there couldn't teach someone better than them. The drummer Mike Portnoy got best drummer so many times in Modern Drummer magazine that they put him in the hall of fame with Buddy Rich, Ginger Baker, Tony Williams ,etc. The guitar player John Petrucci is just ridiculous. He is always in Guitar player magazine. Check them out on DVD.ED.

As a general hater of jam bands, and a true lover of metal. All I have to say is :roll:

This is why people hate Dream Theater fans...

IMO, Opeth and Between the Buried and Me are better prog metal bands.

Thanks Austin. I was trying to educate people on good music. Not that the bands mentioned on this thread aren't. I liked the Grateful Dead better when they were a "acid rock" band as in Aoxomoxoa. The problem with musician's who listen only to "jam" bands is that they all sound like the Dead. I have a problem with Bob Weir being a member of Bohemian Grove. I liked Clapton better before his heroin period. Cream was a "jam" band also. The definition of "jam" is to extrapolate a different form of improvisation within the framework of a song. I will check out the bands you mentioned. Thanks. Ed.

Thanks Austin.

Huh? I wasn't supporting you, I was saying I hate Dream Theater fans like you.

I was trying to educate people on good music.

Wow... ever think that people can possibly have different tastes in what is "good" music?:roll:

 

[ckofer]

Hey now- if a certain kind of music does it for you, that's great. Bringing in Dream Theater to this discussion is like discussing Mexican food on a sushi thread. There's no need to make this a my band is better than your band thing.

(dammit Austin I wanted to hit the bold thing)

Word.

In the context used, this is worth repeating a third time

 

[ed-drum]

Gee, I guess I don't have good taste in music now. I was accepted to Berklee also. There are sure a lot of very angry people on this board. Looking for fights? No tact? I don't think so. I saw Hendrix too. I guess he didn't jam either. Are any of these people attacking me trained musicians? I seriously doubt it. This board seems to be full of a lot of "experts" who are weekend warrior snow hounds who should be on a surfing board because the ocean is closer to them. I've seen a lot of you opinionated "experts" on the slopes and don't say a word to you. I ski up to 100 days a year. There is a lot of misdirected anger here. I was watching, playing in and enjoying "jam" bands long before a lot of you were born. I "jammed" at a certain person's house on Long Island on drums that had "Rolling Stones Ltd." on the drum cases. I still have the Fillmore program from the last show at the Fillmore that the Allman Brothers played at. I was devastated when Duane and then Butch got killed. And I was deeply saddened at the loss of Garcia. I saw the Dead a bunch of times, the first time was at at the original Woodstock concert. And I get people that "hate" people like me. Peace, Ed.

I shouldn't even perpetuate this, but it really is your tactless approach that we (at least I) resent. If there was just a way to vote you off this virtual island.....

Good for you

 

[ed-drum]

So vote me off, angry boy. I could care less. You should take out your anger out on where it belongs. Why don't you join the military like I did over 25 years ago and go kill terrorists. Your anger should be in PRIVATE messages. PEACE. Ed.

 

[deadheadskier]

I'm not seeing any anger at all, I am seeing someone that appears to have forgotten to get their prescription filled......who might that be

 

[ed-drum]

I get my prescription filled at the Veteran's Hospital and it's for a physical injury. I get free health care for the rest of my life. One of the benefits for getting decorated for Valor in combat. Slip Knot is a "jam band"? Sure. Difference of opinion is one sided here. Ed.

B.i.o.d.t.l

 

[ckofer]

Ed-Thanks for your service. Take care of yourself.

Going to bed.
